| Obverse description | Uniformed bust of Nāṣer al-Dīn Shāh Qājār in three-quarter left-facing portrait, depicted in elaborate military dress. The effigy is contained within a raised inner circle, itself enclosed by a decorative border of olive leaves rendered in fine relief. The portrait is executed in a naturalistic European academic style, reflecting the medallic conventions of the late 19th century. |

| Reverse description | The entire field is occupied by a multi-line Persian commemorative inscription in elegant Nasta'liq calligraphy, recording the occasion of the Shah's third return journey from Europe and the striking of this piece at the Imperial Iranian Mint. The inscription is enclosed within a wreath composed of intertwined oak and olive branches, tied at the base with a ribbon bow. A Qajar imperial crown surmounts the wreath at the top center, serving as the principal decorative device of the composition. The date 1307 (AH) appears at the foot of the inscription within the wreath. |
